I do not think you are aware but there IS such a terminology as "head bath" in India
Listen to commentators on TV channels when the matches are on. You'll learn more n more gems from the language. Especially Sricunt, Kopil, Pskistani players etc.
Folks, Do skill building. Improve competency in your respective field. Learn from Korea, Japan, Germany, France etc. The makers of the everyday products we use from these countries talk much worse English than ours. Choice is ours. 1. Manage 'some'english, focus on core skills 2. Focus more on english and stay as BPO and low end IT service people.

Globally, English is the most commonly used language -- especially in the corporate world.
Because Japan, Korea, and other nations don't subscribe to 'English language proficiency,' doesn't mean we shouldn't either.
The countries you have listed are highly advanced in the tech domains (electronics, auto engineering, infrastructure engineering, etc.) and are self-reliant in many ways. Look at Samsung, BMW, Merc, Sony, etc. -- they have covered the globe with their products. Name one Indian company that competes with them on a global scale.
Indians are known for low-tech services and products -- our top IT companies (Infosys, TCS, Wipro) are nothing more than body shoppers and their clients are mostly global entities.
The logical conclusion is that if Indians are to thrive, they need to improve their language skills.
As a recruiter, I can say with a (degree with authority) that communications skills are the most preferred skill set of any top employer.
As for your remarks about 'learn English and stay as a BPO worker,' it shows your ignorance about the talent acquisition world. Please back your claims with logic.
People with the above average communication skills are paid higher than their peers. Also, they are promoted more often, and receive better appraisals.
Are core / functional skills important? Of course. But communications skills are the foundation of a good career.

A person with clear thought process and excellent communications skills most definitely has an edge over others. Having said that,communications skills and English language skills doesn't necessarily mean the same. A good communicator needs to have equally good listening skills.

very true IndieBoy Goswami. What is language? just a mode of communication. I agree totally with you, learn from Korea, Japan, Germany, France, build up your core skills. This is why language is never a barrier for a Chinese immigrant to succeed in the West.
